Avatar n tn Turns out to be prickly heat rash, day three and starting to fade. She had a heat rash, we worked up a real sweat, and heat rash is now confirmed another STD. Although this wasn't to bad a price to pay for the time spent. All other situations considered. Thank you everybody and love this room for the info.
Avatar n tn Hi Sage, I have those exact markings on my chest, back and under my breast. I was told they were due to a type of fungus and if you wash the area with "Selsun Blue" they will disappear. A heat rash is also another possibility.
Avatar m tn maybe 4 months ago i started to get a little rash on my groin where the pelvis and thigh meet, well i thought nothing of it, its just heat rash. so i let it be, after a while it got worse and i showed my father, he said it was heat rash, so i thought it would just go away, but it hasn't, in fact it has spread.
Avatar n tn i dont know if i have a heat rash or jock itch it seems to itch very little but no peeling on the skin and no redness but there is little red bumps above my pelvic area is this heat rash or jock itch?
Avatar m tn Hello, Without examination, I cannot confirm a diagnosis but it can be contact dermatitis, sweat dermatitis, heat rash or tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.
Avatar m tn Also all these spots seem to be raised up slightly above the skin and the turn red around the edges when I get hot. I have been told heat rash before, but i thought it was localized to persistently sweaty areas and that it goes away anywhere from like 4-48 hours. Also with sun spots I always thought they went away after a good winter and you lose your tan and start again, besides sunspots definitely aren't supposed to itch, swell, and turn red.

Avatar n tn My best bet is that it is simply a rash, perhaps a heat rash or if you have sensitive skin a reaction to new cloth wash/bed covers. If you leave it for a few days and it doesnt go away I would inform your doctor as a rash would disapear quite quickly....just a few suggestion, hope they help.
Avatar m tn Antibiotic can cause a fungus. That is a prime area because of wetness and the heat of the body. Try Monistate cream for about 10 days to see if it will clear it up. You can use corn starch, dusting the area to help keep it dry. Get as much air as possible to the area to help it heal. Use sensitive skin (clear & free) laundry soap and bath soap that has no dyes and perfumes, wearing white cotten underware. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn If it's ringworm or staph you will find that gentian violet will stain it moreso than the rest of the skin. Gentian violet is extremely indecisive and very effective but it's also DARK VIOLET and a stain.
Avatar f tn Humid weather, physical activity, certain clothing fabrics, overheating, can all lead to heat rash. There is inflammation, formation of blisters and itchy rash. Contact dermatitis is another possibility caused due to contact with any allergen. Jock itch, or tinea cruris, is a fungal infection caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum. It causes an itching annoying rash in the groin area, buttocks, and inner thighs .Application of Clotrimazole cream may provide relief. Maintain local hygiene.
Avatar f tn Im twenty weeks and I have a small rash on my breast !
Avatar m tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examnation but it can be intertrigo,heat rash or contact dermatitis. An intertrigo is an inflammation (rash) of the body folds.It most commonly occurs due to bacterial,viral or fungal infection. An intertrigo usually appears red and raw-looking, and may also itch, ooze, and be sore. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.
Avatar f tn Little bubbles that feel hard to the touch, more appear, and eventually the skin breaks and it seems kind of like a rash. My doctor said it was fungus and gave me Daktacort which is a hydrocortisone cream. I've used it twice a day for 4 days now but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Does it normally take a lot of time for this cream to make the bubbles go away? Do you think I have a fungus? Will it come back again?
Avatar m tn One kind is for fungus infection, and another is for inflatamation. I put on the one for fungus, and my skin got improved after 2 days. Yesterday I put both creams together, and my skin became itchy now. Is it normal? Thanks.

Avatar f tn we both tan for a couple months ever year i got it first and my doctor told me it could be like a heat rash and i most likely got it on my stomach b/c its a sensitive place. i also worked at a few salons before and the first one i worked at i got a rash on the back of my leg and a little on my back it was a chemical burn my boss didn't wipe all the cleaner off. but she put some kind of cream on it and it went a way in a few days.
Avatar f tn Tonight I was trying to sleep but for some reason I am unusual hot -even a bit clammy. Now I'm the kind of person who cuddles up, steals all your warmth, then steals the blankets only to wake up wrapped like a burrito! Meaning I'm naturally colder than others. (Average Person 98.6; Mine is 96.4) This temp has been my body temp since I was a child. (I've been to the doctor and I'm perfectly healthy.) My problem is that the crease where my ear attaches to my head is stinging.
Avatar m tn With the molluscum I also developed some kind of rash at the base of my penis. Doctor said it was nothing and that it would go away by itself... The rash has been there for 3 months with no change. A friend of mine suggested jock itch treatment with over the counter drugs. Lotrimin ultra didnt do a thing...but surprisingly the powder spray of the same brand worked ok. I noticed that the active ingredient miconazole nitrate works really well with my case.
Avatar n tn A 3month old baby got diagnosed with fungus rash,on physical examination there are white flames on the face only.no spots or mark on other part of the body.can this be classified as fungus and if so what is the short term nursing goal for this baby.
Avatar m tn THis started for me in the summer when i got VERY sweaty down there. It can also be a Heat rash. They told me mine was fungus when i went to get it checked out and said it is nothing to worry about. They gave me ointment (i forgot what it was called). But another ointment i have is called "Hydrocortisone Cream1% with aloe". It HELPS A LOT! Just wash the area thoroughly, dry it well and apply the ointment.
1025521 tn?1252507728 I recentley startes tanning in a tanning bed, approxamately a couple weeks after I started a rash started below my knees and down my shins. I tanned last summer as well and the same thing but not as bad. The rash begins as little red spots, but this time it has got a little worse. They are irregular shaped red spots or welts/ blemishes, slightly poofy and raised but not extremely.
Avatar f tn So sorry - how uncomfortable! Could it be caused by the warm weather? The humidity is causing all kinds of fungi - try some gynelotrimin to see if it helps. And use baby powder to keep your back area dry. If this doesn't help, you'll have to see a doctor to determine what kind of fungus it is. Or if it's a heat rash or a parasite. Again, I am so sorry that you are having this problem. Wishing you the best.
Avatar m tn I am a 31 yr old female. For the past few weeks I have had a rash on the folds of my groin area and the inside of my thighs. It comes and goes and I think it is affected by the heat (S. Florida - yuck!). It is red, burning, streaky, and has a sharp odor. When it flares up I use a diaper rash cocoa butter cream at night. It is pretty thick so I suffer during the day if it appears. The lotion helps at times; last night it did not.
